Delete Fails WP:BIO. The only source I could find that seems to support Tillson's "claim to fame" is an article in his high school newspaper (page 3 of this PDF). — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 18:05, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are way more sources than that. The Washington Post, American Conservative Magazine. He also was featured in an article in a DC area paper about young political activists. I'm trying to track it down. I'll cite it as soon as I find it. --GBVrallyCI (talk) 22:20, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I think it is worth disclosing that you were the author of the article about Mark Ellmore. Niteshift36 (talk) 06:17, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:16, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As it stands, all mentions of Daniel Tillson are directly related to Ellmore, with no articles directly about him seperately. If he really was a teenager running a campaign, I'd expect to find much more info about him, especially with the Guinness Book claims and such. Unless better sources are provided about Tillson himself, I'm goign to agree with the nominator, and say delete. Angryapathy (talk) 16:02, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, or very selective merge to Mark Ellmore if the Guinness claim can be substantiated. I find one article by searching Google News Archive (here, mainly about Ellmore) and nothing in LexisNexis. EALacey (talk) 17:38, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: To Mark Ellmore. No reason to lose properly sourced content for this young activist. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:19, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The lack of sources is the primary problem of the article, therefore delete until problems are resolved. Hot Steam Valve (talk) 22:30, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This also assumes Ellmore is notable, which I'm not convinced by. Hence delete. MikeHobday (talk) 23:32, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As the article stands, only one of the references even mentions Tilson, and it simply quotes him as campaign manager. It says nothing about his age or anything to make him stand out from thousands of other congressional campaign managers. Google turns up nothing of interest. If GBVrallyCI or others can find those citations I will happily change my vote. --MelanieN (talk) 23:54, 1 January 2010 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]
Delete. Simply doesn't pass WP:N. Skip the redirect because I can see that article being in AfD very soon. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:40, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The Ellmore article is in AfD now: WP:Articles for deletion/Mark Ellmore (3rd nomination) Niteshift36 (talk) 06:17, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
